so we live in a much better world today but the nature of conflict has changed there are fewer casualties is that at the same time it's more difficult to deal with you know we didn't have suicide bombings during the cold war we have that no so it's created a new thing so our armed forces have got to be modernized they need to be more flexible they need to be more maneuverable they need to go a long distances here they have to be highly skilled and they have to use the most technologically advanced equipment but instead on both sides both the nato and russia we're investing in the equipment of the cold war huge time big for missions you know the wrong type of people we're wasting taxpayers' money on the wrong weapons we're fated the last war not the next conflict so we've got to adapt nato has to adapt russia has to adapt in order to be able to confront those new

challenges of the threats to our security i talking about more modern weapons versus that's when guerrilla we're talking a guerrilla warfare they're not using very highly advanced weapons themselves whether they are more primitive than a suicide bomber an individual who straps an explosive device to to themselves and blows themselves up themselves up as well as others of the company or this is you know this is all this new it has happened in the past but never on this on this scale so we we've got to be innovative in the we we think about these things as a political side to this. a military side of this so that means adaptation innovation cooperation and it means cooperation and among all of the world's poor are going to be affected by modern warfare and too much of a tie at the present moment is taken are worth find to threats ancient and.

ancient conflicts and people here talking about nato and some common you know possible need to write fantasy he is a fantasy and we have people in the way still russia. russia russia wants to rule the world look at what catherine the great said you know i can only secure my thirty years by expanding catherine the his big quote is today more fun to see and hear if you go to talk to people in the streets they say we're worried about migration we're worried about with the piracy on the high seas we're worried about our jobs our pensions because of economic instability we've got to focus on what people are concerned with and start working together to deal with these problems well it's interesting that you bring up the different problems of your sense of who is nato's enemy because international terrorism first doesn't sound very convincing as you rightly brought up there are other issues that people

are concerned with so who is nato's enemy vader's enemy is instability that's what will tell of this it's the people who are the insurgents it's it's all of that exactly the same with russia's enemy. you we're not talking about nature being russia's enemy or all russia being neither is anybody the fact is that we've got to deal with these problems for example suddenly in the indian ocean the ships every country of being attacked by somali pirates in small boats so what happens to that what is the response to it is it is a multinational three hundred need to control because nato has the machinery to do that with russian ships traineeships a mother of to take to the ceiling the ships that are living against these pirates from a field this is what is the other big problem we've got peace these fragile one field states where government basically doesn't exist. and it spills over refugees it

spills over in terms of child builds economic instability these are the enemies who are going to do what they're not they are all creative it is this is not seen chairmen who are appearing on japan all in different you know the soviet union or need to study this it's much more disparate but it requires us to be imaginative thinking you know the pilots the. international criminals the traffickers think globally. you bald those don't matter to them at all they ignore borders but we have trouble with the border so we've got to start thinking as innovative with and and was allegedly because these people do if we're going to keep people say now you mention your corporation with china with regard to the somali pirates out china is going comic power and they also know that they have the biggest military two point five million strong is a reason to be

a sleaze of china well no because china is facing the same problems you know when the piracy came up it was traineeships as well and china decided it was going to be engaged you know so we start thinking of cherry guys and the enemy rather than as an hour against these forces of dissolved you and then we kill another cold war while else would we want to do that you are the neighbor of china it's north korea north korea's got nuclear weapons and it's a crazy state clear crazy people run it so as a threat to china it's much closer to china than it is to or to new york city so you know we need to engage all the different parties in this nor make artificial distinction right so more cooperation rather than points of contention with china at this point here you know i've had the greatest and most successful defense ryan's. the world has ever know native. and it has been it has been useful but it

had survived and thrived because it wasn't just a military organization it was an alliance of values a belief in democracy a belief in people choosing their own government of freedom before the war of good neighborly relations good internal relations all of these things these are values this kid you need to together know russia share of these fall but show needs to be part of that community of values sure that we know what will defend that's what that's what to do these conflicts and what today's world is about it's defending the all the states against this order of world and bringing stability to these parts of the world as well one of the country that sort of creating a bit of instability in that at least in the minds of us in countries would be iran and now to two years ago at the pentagon has has been reportedly developing plans

of attacking iran how realistic is that but i think everyone goes in option climate from the lowest to highest but you know that's that's natural because iran is not a normal country seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and iran is a country whose president already said it wants to wipe one of its neighbors all thumb up so you can't talk about iran in terms of just a country developing a nuclear deterrence it's a danger to its neighbors and indeed as it develops long range missiles to a much wider area and frankly when i go to moscow i find people more school even more concerned than the americans about a nuclear iran because iran and terrified of the missile sites they're much course to the russian border now they are to the amount. i'm bored so the rhetoric

may be different but we have all got a common interest in helping the people of iran to escape the states protected to shift the star and to stop iran being a menace in the most volatile region of the world now here we're analyzing a country with at analyzing there a leader of the same way that possibly here we've done with iraq in the past so we should have a right to think that was a mistake because there were no weapons of mass destruction found to date but we know that no we didn't know that then. why is our is what is after the other way around in iraq not the same iraq was a dictatorship of the most vicious and a horrible it was a country that is a tactic one of its neighbors iran and used chemical and biological weapons it is a country that invaded another neighboring country kuwait and reaped and pillage shooting there is

a country that used chemical weapons against its own people in the kurdish area and the it's a country that dreamed the marchioness where the arabs the shia arabs had lived for many years and was involved in genocidal attacks it was it had a track record of threatening its neighbors on the way the region and we therefore believed and had good reason to believe even if the intelligence was faulty that saddam was up to something and it was only a matter of time before he would again threaten his neighbors and threaten the region iran his north a fundamentalist stupidest of we've seen for the recent demonstrations that the people the people of there i want to be free they're able to demonstrate you are they have been ruthlessly oppressed of the moment but you know this is more a monolith country and i think we need to be more sympathetic to the new cornish decent peace loving people in iran and encourage them to stand up. to those who

would drop press them and seek to destabilize the region. that would mean leadership. leadership is of huge importance in the world today i'm not a leader of any war i'm an ex second job. but there are people who must carry on the torch of leadership of the wealthy and recognize what people are. and whoa whoa we need to fight the new tools to be able to deal with these kids if we go on preoccupied with the ghosts of the past then we've missed the opportunity of doing something good and we take our people into danger because we've taken our eye off the real all right thank you very much for your time pleasant.

a little bit more. than a word but i already have having a name such as triumph expectations are always relatively high but this season it's really all about adapting to the tough new circumstances but if the club can see through their heavy financial difficulties and the talented he understands it on their pay and resurrection could have been sooner rather than later complaining about out of our team. and that's what sports these and they're about i'll be back with another update in just a little less until i. question is that so much i'm afraid we're going to make it a lot of the play here yeah but give me next to kim isolated and impoverished north korea is badly in need of change how will this happen and who will.
